Thuy Hong Thi Dinh, Van De Phung

Abstract


Students' speaking abilities are widely thought to play an important role in speaking classes and high school English teachers endeavor to improve their students' speaking performance. The purpose of the current study was to examine whether incorporating videos before and after speaking sessions had a substantial impact on students’ speaking development. The participants were 78 high school students in Kien Giang province. The study used a quasi-experimental mixed-methods design. The participants were organized into two groups: the control group and the experimental group. Both groups underwent a pre-test to check group homogeneity and for later comparison. The students in the experimental group participated in the speaking class where video integration was introduced at the beginning and end of each lesson whereas the students in the control group attended regular speaking classes. The intervention lasted for twelve weeks. A posttest was then given to students of the two groups to check progress in speaking performance. Furthermore, the attitudes of the students in the experimental group were measured using Likert-style questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Data collected from the pre-test, post-test, and questionnaire were subjected to analysis via SPSS. The findings of the study indicate that the application of videos in speaking classes significantly influenced students' speaking performance. Additionally, students show positive attitudes towards using videos in their speaking classes.
